As A Man Thinks...


One of the most important things we can do as men is think.Sometimes our thinking can be to great benefit, while other times it can be to great detriment; however, in every situation, we must remember that the greatest thing about thinking is that it's completely under our control.

Even though our thoughts are under our control, often we choose thoughts that are counterproductive to our growth. Have you ever heard someone say, “I can't do it. It's too hard” or “It can't be done”? That's the type of thinking that hinders our progress and stagnates development. That doesn't mean that thinking positively will guarantee success, but the world of encouraging possibilities and growth opens up to us by thinking positively.

Everything we do and the way we see things begins with a thought. From there, our thoughts control our feelings and our feelings control our actions. Your thoughts are the root of the tree of experience. Just as tree with a poor root system bears poor fruit, negative and discouraging thoughts produce negative and discouraging situations. Quite often things aren't nearly as bad as we think they are, but by simply thinking negatively it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We cause things to go bad or make ourselves fall short simply by thinking that they WILL.

Start today by changing your mind. Decide to think positively and approach each situation expecting and believing the best will occur. You’ll be surprised how things will begin to turn around for you!
